I have the awesome privilege of working for Happy Family part-time and love their products. Read more here.

Happy Baby Pouches {Organic baby food in a convenient pouch. Glass jar baby food is heated at such high temperatures, most, if not all, of the nutrients are lost. These are heated at a much lower temperature and the nutrients are retained}

I hope this list helps! Invest in some to-go containers and an insulated lunch bag that you like, along with an ice pack to keep food cool and you’ll be good to go. Pack things you make at home, only smaller! If you need a store-bought option, Happy Family has quality snacks and baby food without the nasty ingredients. Happy traveling!

I did not get paid to write the Happy Family portion of this post. 🙂 I just really feel we need better store-bought options for our kids. The big company products that are geared towards children have huge advertising budgets to get them interested in and hooked on what they sell, and what they sell is chock-full of…well, you know! Ditch big advertising, make your snacks at home and go organic at the store.

So funny Rama. Sitting at OMSI I had our tea towel all laid out with our little stainless steel snack containers and fruit wrapped in cloth napkins and I thought, “this is so pretty and practical. I should blog about in-the-go snacks” and here’s your lovely post. Great suggestions! I’ve been meaning to make our own granola and Lara bars again for ages and I can’t wait to try the recipes you linked to!

Thanks, Kim! I’d love to see these stainless steel containers you use. What do you recommend? I also really like the cloth napkin around fruit idea. I need to make more of these ideas in bigger batches to freeze so they can truly be on-the-go for those days when I’m in a pinch 🙂 Thanks for commenting!

This post pretty much covers it! Sophie happens to love hard-boiled eggs – which I find pretty awesome! She’ll often wander the house with a hb-egg in one hand and a piece of turkey jerky in the other – love the protein lifestyle!

I have found that grilled chicken will also transport well and then it’s easy to give her some bites – pack a fork now that she’s in the utensil world – or just hand feed her when she was little.

I love the good snacks we can give our kiddos. Thanks for all the great ideas – and the recipes!! Still need to try the raw pumpkin energy balls.

You make great snacks for Soph! I need to remember the nitrite-free jerky 🙂 My new goal is to pick a day once a week or every other week and just cook in huge batches and freeze. Want to do it together one of these days when things get settled?
